Loughborough Central

Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 0-6-0T Works No. 7684/1951 seen undergoing a contracted overhaul at Loughborough Central in January 2019. In October 1951 the locomotive was moved to Nechells Power Station in Warwickshire and became 'Nechells No 4'. It spent the rest of its working life there until it was withdrawn from service in June 1972 when steam operations ceased. In October 2018 the locomotive moved from the Chasewater Railway to the GCR following the locomotive being sold. The locomotive will be based on the Great Central Railway where it is expected to be fully overhauled.
